Additional Support

Council can help connect residents to additional support services, if they require more specialised care.

Linkages Program

If your care needs are of a more complex nature, you may be eligible to receive assistance through the Linkages Program.

The Linkages Program is a case management service which can arrange additional services for people whose needs cannot be entirely met by the usual care services provided by Council.

The case manager will help you and/or your carer arrange services that are individually tailored to your needs. There is a waiting list for entry to this program.

The service provides the help of a short-term case manager to help you coordinate the services you need. There is no waiting list for entry into this program.
